The weather forecast had been mixed but it turned out to be a minor scorcher of an afternoon at Herbert’s Farm in Saffron Walden where our girls have played so many games over the past couple of years. They were playing PSG’s newer team who had given us a very tough battle last time out in a game where Frosso announced herself as a key member of the team. Today proved to be another very hard fought win which Coton played without Manager Al who is in New Zealand and with only one substitute. We would have had no subs but Annie who plays up a year for the under 12s kindly stepped in late in the day.

The afternoon didn't start well as coach Olly had forgotten his tactics board and resorted to using footballs to show the team the formation and tactics we wanted to employ. There was a lot of new information to take on board but the girls showed in the way that they tried to play that they had been carefully listening. Some of the passing combinations and movement were fantastic and if the girls continue on their current trajectory there is going to be some special football played next season. At times the girls looked a bit unsure of their roles and got too bunched together and were hesitant in what they were trying to do but in other moments they drew in a dogged PSG team with neat passing moves before switching the play to the open side using the defensive midfielder as pivot. Shannon and Tes played this role brilliantly, showing great awareness of their options and moving the ball quickly and efficiently.

There was a real contrast in style between the two teams with Coton looking to impose their possession based game against a PSG team who looked to play the ball early and long and catch us on the counter attack. The problem for PSG was that the Coton defence was well organised, quick and determined. Tes stood out quietly as always, reading the game, intercepting passes, breaking up play and winning all of her one on one battles. Emelia and Sophie at full back were always on the front foot and looking to present an attacking threat but they were cool and calm and happy to play the ball back if there were no forward options and whenever they were caught out of possession they showed the determination to get back and cut off any danger. Between the three of them, Tes, Sophie and Emelia blunted and frustrated a quick and strong PSG front line. In possession we always posed a threat with India and Julie always willing to chase lost causes and make dangerous incisive runs while Emily, Annie and Amandine worked tirelessly to close down defenders when out of possession and to break into the box to try and get on the end of crosses when in possession.

Coton went ahead late in the first quarter with Shannon shooting calmly from just outside the box after being set up by some lovely combination play down the right. After that Coton had a long period where they dominated possession and territory with PSG sitting back and defending in numbers meaning that chances were few and far between. Coton looked to attack and increase their lead but being limited to a few half chances for Julie, India and Emily while PSG looked to catch us on the counter attack. Then early in the third quarter and against the run of play one of PSG’s breaks came good and a slick pass freed the ever dangerous PSG winger who ran through on goal and calmly slotted the equaliser. This changed the dynamic of the game for a while and with PSG galvanised, confidence raised and the home support pushing them to score again, most of the balance of the third quarter was played in the Coton half. Coton, however, showed their typical resilience to deny PSG any further clear cut chances and at the end of the quarter they started to regain a foothold and control. Cha was instrumental in winning the ball back and driving the team forward when some of her team mates seemed to be tiring. Then, with the game becoming stretched, Coton exploited the extra space; moving the ball quickly down the left before switching the ball to Emily on the right who burst between the centre back and right back and rolled the ball across the keeper into the corner of the net to restore Coton’s lead. This was a crucial goal with the game having been on a knifepoint for a while.

In the last quarter Coton dominated and pressed home their advantage. India showed some lovely wing play to get to the by-line, cut back past the defender before picking Emily out with a perfect pass that she duly smashed into the net. Shannon rounded off the scoring with a speculative shot from distance that squirmed under the keeper.

All in all another solid display from the girls who, even when not playing at their best, are resilient and hard to break down and always offer a range of attacking threats. Thanks to PSG and their coach Sam Fox for hosting us and playing their part in a really close contest.👍⚽️ ... See MoreSee Less

Coton U12 Girls vs Milton U12 Girls, Coton
League

In their last match of the season

Our U12 Girls welcomed a hungry Milton team to a hard, sun-baked Rec. This match marks the end of a formative debut season for the U12 side, which has seen them go from newcomers to contenders under the watchful eyes of Coach Simon and Assistant Coach Clive.

Straight into the action, Maria jumped onto Shannon’s delicate pass through the channel to put an early shot on goal and test the Milton Keep, setting the scene for the match ahead. Clearly buoyant, Coton made a conscious effort to dominate the midfield and play on the front foot.

Like a Labrador sensing a free ham sandwich, Shannon pounced on a drop ball, threading the ball to Hettie. Dancing through the Milton defense, Hettie squeezed out a shot on goal. The deflection fell to an advancing Lilia who wasted no time in drawing first blood. Moments later, Coton, using the width, found an advancing Julie thundering down the touch line. Taking a first touch that in initially looked heavy, Julie rallied and belted the ball from far outside the box with her signature left boot to beat the Keep and bring up Coton’s second.

Tess linked up with Shannon to give her the inch of space she needed just outside the box, darting through with a piece of individual brilliance, Shannon picked up Coton’s third off a left-footed beauty. Relentless, a copy-book Shannon-Julie combo saw Shannon receive the ball from Hettie, draw in the defense and play a through-ball into space for Julie to run on to. A first-time bullet beat the Keep notching up Coton’s fourth, and putting Milton on the back foot. As the half dew to a close, Milton struck back with several flurries of attacks and three thumping shots on goal, only to meet the safe hands of Nat.

Coton, playing heads-up, positive football, with smiles on their faces, went into the second half with gusto. A superb drive from Lilia down the length of the pitch saw her with an option centrally. Exploiting the overlap to wrong-foot the defender, she precisely finished the play with an unsavable shot in the bottom left corner to beat the Keep. High in confidence, Coton put shots on through Anais and Tess; in the mid, Sergeant Major Ellen marshalled her troops and controlled play with perfect distribution, while Emma, like a banshee, scrambled back in defense and pushed forward into attack. Waves of Coton attack and scrambling Milton defense brough the match, and the season, to a close. A final match for Simon as Coach, but just the beginning for such a special new Coton team. Well done all!👍⚽️ ... See MoreSee Less

Coton U11G vs Newmarket, Coton Rec (Home)
Friendly

As we launch into a Summer of Sport, Coton Rec, resplendent and bathed in sunshine, welcomed a budding Newmarket U11 Girls football team for a post-season friendly alongside Coton Cricket settling into their long season with a match against Milton. Newmarket, perhaps emulating NZ at Lords, came to seek retribution for past injustices (for Newmarket this was a tough defeat, for NZ this was the infamous ‘super over’ of 2019).

An immaculate pitch, with the straightest respect barrier Coton has seen in decades, contrasted against a tumultuous first quarter where both teams struggled to settle into the match and gain rhythm. Working a more traditional 3-3-2 formation this week (much to Shannon’s disgust) Coton struggled to put into practise the pass-and-go football we’ve been working towards, allowing Newmarket to encroach and bag a couple of tidy early goals.

A real test of character is how you respond to adversity. The second quarter saw the return of the Coton side we know and love: Shannon acting as the master puppeteer in midfield distributing the ball to her wings and forwards, India relentless in getting forward down the right and mucking back to help her defense, and Emilia lethal given 2 cm free space. An opportunistic pounce on the Keep’s kick-out from Julie saw Coton get onto the scoreboard, hammering the ball into the top left corner. Emily, scooping the ball from deep in her own half, scythed down the guts of the pitch to beat 4 Newmarket players. Perfectly balanced, Emily launched a thumper of a shot on goal from just over halfway. The spectacular Newmarket Keep struggled to contain the ball, spilling it just in front of an advancing Frosso. Delicately moving the ball to her right, Frosso wrong-footed the keep, and keenly placed the ball into the bottom right and squaring the match.

Standout performances in and out of goal from Frosso, Ellen ‘calm-as-custard’ in central defense, Tesni perfectly impersonating an impenetrable barrier in midfield, Bam alternating between attack and defense, and Katty looking like she had time for a cup of tea every time she touched the ball.

Emily edged Coton into the lead with an amazing driving run and finish. A substitution to bring an up-front trio of Indy, Shannon and Julie paid dividends. Shannon showed her exemplary perception of the game by adding another, intercepting the Keep’s throw out, and India sealed the match with a quality finish that typifies an ‘India goal’.

Special mention must go to Matilda.. for being Matilda (a defensive rock), and Emilia with her imitation of ‘Road Runner’ flying down the wings, Ellen as the defensive rock and Lia, confident, proactive, front foot, determined and happily triumphant.

Coton U11G vs Haddenham Rovers, Wilburton Rec (Away)
Friendly

Haddenham welcomed our Girls to Wilburton for a post-season friendly on a scorching hot Sunday morning. Every time these teams come together it’s a sure-fire crowd pleaser, with oodles of sizzling-hot, passing football. The last two times these teams met only one goal separated them.

Trying out a new 2-3-3-1 formation we focused on creating space by exploiting triangles, using the sheer pace of Bam and Emilia down the flanks, and having the dynamic defensive duo of Ellen and Tesni protecting Cha in goal. Haddenham started with an intensity that caught our Girls off guard, with some lovely interchanges leading to an early score, putting Coton in the unfamiliar positions of being 1 down. Despite playing on the larger pitch, space was hard to come by with both teams jockeying effectively between attacking and defensive structures. A skilful break, and a clever piece of pass-and-go just before half time brought up Haddenham’s second.

Unflustered, our Girls started to find and exploit the triangles, stringing together passes and finding the channels. Emilia, tireless in both attack and defense, epitomised the unyielding Coton spirit. Frosso found another gear in the midfield, linking up with a rampaging Cha to create chances and harass Haddenham on the transition. A well timed ‘good luck dance’ from Cha at the start of the final quarter meant the ‘Crossbar Gods’ once again came to our aid and held out a thumper of a shot from Haddenham. A quick kick out from Cha found Frosso on the halfway line. Hemmed in by the Haddenham midfield, she managed to thread the gap and find Julie in space. Julie poked the ball forward to find Emilia storming down the right wing. A well worked cross found Indy just outside the box. Taking a few touches to wrong-foot the defence, Indy slipped one past the keeper to close the gap. With just seconds on the clock Frosso won a free kick for Coton. Julie stepped up and curled the ball into the bottom right to square the match and bring it to a close. As billed, Coton’s first ever U11 draw result was a tight arm wrestle and a fantastic spectacle. Well played Girls.

Haddenham: No 14
